Symptoms

An access control list is an explicit list of individuals or groups with permission to access or interact with specific content. 

Depending on how access control list security is configured, up to three additional fields are available for use when adding, modifying, or searching for documents (content):

  • User Access List

  • Group Access List

  • Role Access List

Unlike roles and accounts, ACLs do not require an associated LDAP group.
